18 Best Vegan Restaurants in Black Mountain

“I was born and raised and Florida and moved to nc about 3 years ago. I'm half Cuban and i have been trying to find a Cuban place here that is close to what i grew up eating in Orlando and Miami. Look no further guys. This place is the real deal! Real Cuban owner. Authentic Cuban food and wonderful atmosphere. I absolutely LOVE it and it reminds me of the Cuban food i ate growing up. Please please give this place a try. 10/10 would always recommend“

“Oh my goodness... what else can I say but JUST GO! I'm a connoisseur of fine donuts, and I can truly say that their product is absolutely unique in the most delightful way. The base donut has the crackly margins of a good cake donut, and the pillowy structure and yeast notes of a yeast donut- an amazing hybrid of the best of both styles. To really appreciate that accomplishment, order the most simple topping so as not to obscure the subtle taste notes. I prefer powdered sugar, but they also have a nice assortment of gooey toppings as well. Try the caramel topping with Biscoff biscuit crumbs! It's also a cute little shop with friendly helpful staff, and very good coffee. It's easy to get to, and worth a visit- just get there early for the best selection. You won't regret it!“

“This restaurant is almost 1.5 hours away from me and I have gone almost every other week for a few months now because the food is just THAT GOOD. I had my fiance come after I raved about it for weeks and he agrees, it's worth the long drive and we have been back a few times since.“

“This place has become a 'must' every time we visit BM. I was so excited to show our girls the biscuits 'as big as plates' and it was even better than I remembered. Everyone loved their meal. I ordered the Lookout with a side of grits. I literally can't find one thing that needs to be improved with the biscuit meal and the grits were honestly the best I've ever had. I was blown away. Tip: know that there's probably a wait here. We came on Friday morning and while there were a few tables open, they seemed short-staffed and we had to wait in line. But, people are waiting in line because it's totally worth it. I freaking love this place!“

“Couldn't love this place more. Small but mighty menu, great service and a very cool space - what else can I get ya? Had a bourbon/honey/thyme drink (well, two), a half greens salad with cilantro dressing and a Cuban bowl with mustard roasted pork. 11/10 across the board, and served up by a great crew. Definitely recommend,“

“Food here is absolutely a must try! I got the Egg Special (served only on Sundays), which can be described as a Egg Benedict but with a twist! Sauce is super yummy and the sausage is amazing! From what I understood, the sausage is locally sourced and it has a lot of flavor! If you go for this dish, I assure you, you wont regret it! The French Toast was alright, nothing out of the ordinary. If you are looking for something sweet, try something else on the menu. The place itself has a homie feeling! And the people are very friendly!“

“We came here for dinner. We sat on the patio since we had our dog and they were kind to seat us, even though it was chilly and there was no one else on the patio. Service was friendly and quick. I ordered a stromboli which was fine but not cooked all the way through. They were very accommodating and fixed the issue right away. Still our favorite pizza spot in BM.“

“A very nice little coffee shop with breakfast and lunch sandwiches..There is indoor a d outdoor seating...The staff is very friendly and helpful...They also have great desserts and offer local honey and various other items...It's connected with Cheryl's Place which is a very nice thrift store with a small gallery room from local artists...One of my favorite places to stop...“

“We stayed at the inn, so we definitely had breakfast and also chose to eat dinner there one night. The food was very good and cooked perfectly. The staff were friendly. We loved the quiet and slower pace atmosphere. We needed a nice getaway and good food and Red Rocker Inn delivered. We would highly recommend.“

“Great food and service. Every time we are at Black Mountain, we eat there. The daily soups are fantastic as well. I love the Cuban sandwich, also! The at,osphere in the 10p year old building with the original creaky wooden floors and the decor is great as well.“

“Such a cute gem. French onion soup was 10/10. The tamales and empanadas were great. The chicken in both the tamales and empanadas were very dry. Would recommend the ground beef empanadas and the pork tamales.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp entrance“

“This place was packed for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon and the hostess warned us that the kitchen was backed up but we weren't in a rush. My husband had to try the deep fried pickle appetizer which he enjoyed. I asked the server for gluten free options and she was very helpful. When she said they get their gluten free buns made in an Ashville bakery I ordered the Beacon Heights sandwich. It was a BLT with avocado and a special sauce and the best gluten free sandwich I've ever had. It usually comes with fries but they don't have a dedicated fryer so she suggested a side salad which was fresh and tasty. With seating indoors and out this casual eatery is a best bet.“

“A local gem. My family really enjoys Ole's. The food is always great, friendly and helpful staff, affordable prices. We get takeout more than we dine in and they never mince on takeout orders.During peak times, parking can get crazy, but people just park in the grass along the street on the opposite side of the restaurant.Sit out back when the weather is nice!“

“As a long-time bread and pizza maker at home, I picked this restaurant based on pictures of the pizza crust—beautiful open crumb that looked like it would be crisp and chewy without being dense. I was not disappointed! Excellent pizza. Tuscan salad was the perfect complement. Loved watching the pizza being made, too.“

“Overall our experience here was pretty good. In the beginning, our server took about 20 minutes to greet us; there was another server who said it was her first day and she was training that came by to get our drink order, but it took a very long time to get our actual food order in.The food was delicious, my husband and I both got Cesar salads and the deviled eggs to start. For dinner we got the shrimp and grits and the souther fried chicken, both were wonderful. For dessert we split the chocolate ice cream, and our server comped for us after asking if we were celebrating anything and we mentioned it was our first wedding anniversary. It was a nice way to end our evening.“

“We were greeted promptly upon walking in and the scooper was friendly. The location was small but nearly organized. The ice cream case wasn't full, which was kind of disappointing; but, it's not tourist season, so it's understandable. They had about 10 or so dairy ice cream options and about 8 non-dairy options... Including one made from pepita milk, which is something I've never seen before. I opted for the blueberry ice cream and a cinnamon non-dairy ice cream. One can get a sugar cone or cake cone at no extra charge. They also offer a gf sugar cone or a waffle cone at an extra charge. Both of the ice cream flavors were good. The blueberry had real blueberries in it, a+ there! The cinnamon was actual cinnamon spice, not hot cinnamon, but not super creamy since it was no -dairy... If I'm remembering correctly, the base was oatmilk. I would like to visit again during tourist season so the case is full of flavors. My friend said she had a cardamom ice cream here before that was delicious!“

“Hey Hey Cupcake captured my attention from across the street. You walk up to like an old-fashioned concession window and place your order. Thirsty? They also have beverages.The employees were as sweet as their cupcakes. I tried the vanilla cupcake & they frosted it on the spot for me to taste. It was delicious!Someone came up to the window to pick up a box- (pictured).Highly recommend!XOJosephine“

“I've eaten here twice, and both were great experiences. I had whatever was on their daily special both times and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Even my husband makes a sacrifice of the meat in his meal to come here with me. For me, Green Light Cafe combines no nonsense cooking with some really creative ideas. I feel happy, well-fed and healthy when I leave here, and the staff has been very friendly every time.“
